Common Questions About Lessons
Get answers to questions from new students and parents.
How long are piano lessons and what's included?
Standard lessons are 30 minutes for beginners, 45-60 minutes for intermediate and advanced students. Each lesson includes technique work, repertoire practice, music theory, and personalized instruction based on your goals. Sheet music and practice guides included.
Do I need my own piano to start lessons?
Yes, having an instrument at home is essential for practice. An acoustic piano is ideal, but a full-size digital piano with weighted keys works well. I can recommend specific models that fit your budget and space. Avoid small keyboards for serious learning.
What age should kids start piano lessons?
Most children can start around age 5-6 when they can sit still for 30 minutes and have basic counting skills. However, every child develops differently. I offer trial lessons to assess readiness. Adult beginners are always welcome - it's never too late to start!
How much practice is needed between lessons?
Beginners should practice 15-20 minutes daily. Intermediate students need 30-45 minutes. Advanced players often practice 1+ hours daily. Consistent short practices beat long irregular sessions. I provide structured practice plans to make home practice effective and enjoyable.
Can I learn popular songs or just classical music?
Absolutely! I teach both classical and popular music. Students often learn chart-toppers, movie themes, and contemporary pieces alongside traditional classical repertoire. The goal is keeping you engaged while building solid technical foundations that work for any musical style.
What's your policy for missed lessons?
Life happens! With 24-hour notice, missed lessons can be rescheduled within the same month. Emergency situations are handled case-by-case. I maintain flexible scheduling to work with busy family schedules while ensuring consistent musical progress.
